Good to see you back on Carl!

I like your changes. Where did you lose the weight? Are you running that super sick case? What motor are you running now?

I went back to a divorced 205 transfer case. I modified the shift rails so I can take the front end in and out of gear. I also have the option of low and high gear.
It is hooked to a power glide transmission which I like. It is small and light.

I lost weight by going back to a 9" instead corporate rearend. The 3rd member is an aluminimum Moser with 40 spline mark william axles. Also wilwood brakes. After I put the rear end completely together I could still pick it up of the benches and set it on the floor.

Front end is a custom built 9" that is much lighter than my 60.

Motor is the same just with a few upgrades. It is right at 500 cu. in. The biggest difference is I went fuel injection. It is amazing the difference that has made in performance.

Bronco weights close to 4200lbs... wtih me in it. It could stand to be about 300 to 400 lbs lighter but Im gonna run it like it is for a season. I may try to put some new heads on the motor this summer and pick up more horse power.

I really dig the updates. It looks great!

You gonna do any of Ricky B's Throttle King events? Looks like it might be up your alley.
